以下仔細討論本發明的實施例。然而,可以理解的是,實施例提供許多可應用的概念,其可實施於各式各樣的特定內容中。所討論、揭示之實施例僅供說明,並非用以限定本發明之範圍。Embodiments of the present invention are discussed in detail below. It should be appreciated, however, that the embodiments provide many applicable concepts that can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The discussed and disclosed embodiments are for illustration only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
圖1係根據本揭露的實施例之顯示裝置100的方塊圖。顯示裝置100包含顯示面板110及顯示電路101。顯示電路101包含源極驅動器120、閘極驅動器130、時序控制器(timing controller)140及電源模組150。電源模組150耦接至源極驅動器120、閘極驅動器130與時序控制器140,電源模組150用以分別供電給源極驅動器120、閘極驅動器130與時序控制器140,以使顯示裝置100能夠正常運作。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a
在本揭露的實施例中,顯示裝置100可為電子貨架標籤(Electronic Shelf Label,ESL)、電子紙顯示器(Electronic Paper Displays,EPD)、電子墨水顯示器(E Ink Display)、行動裝置、電視、顯示器等顯示裝置。In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the
源極驅動器120透過多條源極線SL1、SL2、...、SLm耦接至顯示面板110,其中每條源極線SL1、SL2、...、SLm係沿顯示面板110的行方向延伸。閘極驅動器130透過多條閘極線GL1、GL2、...、GLn耦接至顯示面板,其中閘極線GL1、GL2、...、GLn係沿顯示面板的列方向延伸。The
時序控制器140耦接至源極驅動器120與閘極驅動器130。時序控制器140控制源極驅動器120與閘極驅動器130以驅動顯示面板110上的多個像素。具體而言,顯示面板110包括多個像素(圖未示)排列成m行及n列而配置為矩陣狀,且每個像素對應地連接至一條源極線與一條閘極線。當欲於顯示面板110上顯示一畫面時,時序控制器140控制源極驅動器120與閘極驅動器130,以使源極驅動器120透過源極線提供相應於該畫面的資料訊號給對應的像素,且使閘極驅動器130透過閘極線循序地提供脈衝訊號給對應的像素以使對應的像素的薄膜電晶體電性導通。The
本揭露乃是針對顯示面板110上的顯示畫面只有局部區塊有改變時,如何更佳地調節電源模組150的供電,以達到更加省電的效果。顯示面板110包含被更新之更新區PU。換言之,顯示面板110上的顯示畫面中,只有更新區PU的畫面會改變,而更新區PU以外的畫面是不會改變的。The present disclosure is directed to how to better adjust the power supply of the
時序控制器140包含部分更新電路142,部分更新電路142乃是用以調控顯示裝置100的顯示面板110的畫面更新方法,更佳地調節電源模組150的供電,以達到更加省電的效果。圖2係根據本揭露的實施例之顯示裝置100的畫面更新方法1000的流程圖。畫面更新方法1000包含步驟1100~1600。The
於步驟1100,更新區PU的尺寸資訊預先存入時序控制器140,且由時序控制器140提供該尺寸資訊,以供部分更新電路142進行後續判斷。圖3係根據本揭露的實施例之顯示面板110的更新區PU的尺寸資訊的示意圖。於圖3中,更新區PU的寬度即更新區PU在顯示面板110的列方向所涵蓋的像素數量以x’來表示。舉例而言,在顯示面板110的列方向的像素數量為160個,且更新區PU在顯示面板110的列方向所涵蓋的像素數量為40個,則x’為40,上述的數值僅為舉例說明,且本發明不限於此。於圖3中,更新區PU的高度即更新區PU在顯示面板110的行方向所對應的閘極線的總條數以y’來表示。在本揭露的實施例中,時序控制器140的部分更新電路142會從多條閘極線GL1~GLn中選出更新區PU在顯示面板110的行方向所對應的多條閘極線(在本文中將這些閘極線稱為「更新閘極線」),且從多條閘極線GL1~GLn中選出除了該些更新閘極線以外的多條閘極線(在本文中將這些閘極線稱為「非更新閘極線」)。舉例而言,若n為320,即閘極線共有320條,而更新區PU在顯示面板110的行方向所對應的多條更新閘極線為GL41~GL80,則y’為40,且多條非更新閘極線為GL1~GL40與GL81~GL320,上述的數值僅為舉例說明,且本發明不限於此。x’與y’的數值資訊被預先存入時序控制器140,以使時序控制器140能提供該數值資訊以供部分更新電路142進行後續判斷。In
於步驟1200,由時序控制器140提供像素數量閥值M與條數閥值N,像素數量閥值M與條數閥值N為預設閥值,且可依據實際應用需求來將其設置為合適的數值。在本揭露的實施例中,可由時序控制器140的暫存器(register)來提供像素數量閥值M與條數閥值N,以供部分更新電路142進行後續判斷。In
於步驟1300,由部分更新電路142判斷當前提供脈衝訊號給對應的像素的該閘極線為更新閘極線或者是非更新閘極線,意即,由部分更新電路142判斷當前是否為驅動更新閘極線,若為是,則表示當前提供脈衝訊號給對應的像素的該閘極線為更新閘極線,則進入步驟1400;若為否,則表示當前提供脈衝訊號給對應的像素的該閘極線為非更新閘極線,則進入步驟1600。In
於步驟1400,由部分更新電路142判斷更新區PU在顯示面板110的列方向所涵蓋的像素數量x’是否小於像素數量閥值M且更新閘極線的總條數y’是否大於條數閥值N。若像素數量x’小於像素數量閥值M且更新閘極線的總條數y’大於條數閥值N,則進入步驟1600。若像素數量x’不小於像素數量閥值M或者是更新閘極線的總條數y’不大於條數閥值N,則進入步驟1500。In
於步驟1500,由部分更新電路142傳送控制訊號至電源模組150以控制電源模組150以正常供電模式(power normal status)來進行供電。具體而言,於步驟1500,將不會調節電源模組150的供電,意即,使得電源模組150維持以正常供電模式來進行供電。換言之,於步驟1500中,部分更新電路142也可以不傳送控制訊號至電源模組150,以使電源模組150維持以正常供電模式來進行供電。In
於步驟1600,由部分更新電路142傳送控制訊號至電源模組150以控制電源模組150以省電模式(power saving status)來進行供電。舉例而言,若於步驟1300的判斷結果為否,則表示當前提供脈衝訊號給對應的像素的該閘極線為非更新閘極線,意即,當前接收脈衝訊號之對應的像素為畫面是不會改變的像素,因此,進入步驟1600,部分更新電路142控制電源模組150以省電模式來進行供電來節省源極驅動器120的耗電,以達到更加省電的效果。舉例而言,若於步驟1400的判斷結果為是,其表示欲於更新區PU所更新的畫面僅需要相對較低的驅動能力,因此,進入步驟1600,部分更新電路142控制電源模組150以省電模式來進行供電來節省源極驅動器120的耗電,以達到更加省電的效果。In
在本揭露的實施例中,步驟1600中之電源模組150的省電模式,舉例來說,可以是(1)降低連接至時序控制器140的軟性印刷電路板上的脈衝頻率調變(PFM)/脈衝寬度調變(PWM)升壓元件電路的驅動訊號(DRV)的輸出電流的驅動能力,以調節源頭電源(閘極驅動器130的開啟/關閉電壓(VGH/VGL))的供給能力,或者是,(2)拉長PFM/PWM升壓元件電路的充電最小關閉時間,以調節源頭電源(VGH/VGL)的供給能力,又或者是,(3)降低源極驅動器120的運算放大器(OP)的偏壓電流等等,也或者,可以是上述多種方式的搭配性組合。應注意的是,上述之電源模組150的省電模式的實現方式僅為例示,本揭露並不限定電源模組150的省電模式的實現方式,只要是可以調節電源模組150的供電以達到更加省電的效果的供電技術手段,皆可做為電源模組150的省電模式的實現方式。In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power saving mode of the
另外,如圖3所示之顯示面板110僅包含一個更新區PU僅為例示,本揭露所提出的顯示裝置100的畫面更新方法1000也可套用在顯示面板110包含了多個更新區的應用。In addition, the
綜合上述,本揭露提出一種顯示裝置及顯示電路,當顯示面板上的顯示畫面只有局部區塊有改變時,透過時序控制器的部分更新電路來更佳地調節電源模組的供電,以達到更加省電的效果。In view of the above, the present disclosure provides a display device and a display circuit. When only a partial block of a display screen on a display panel is changed, the power supply of the power module can be better adjusted through a partial update circuit of the timing controller, so as to achieve a better Power saving effect.
